monologue

At around [-]:[-] p.m., Tang Zhe returned to the team with the hunchbacked old man who pasted talisman stickers at the door of the victim's house. Qi Shaocheng and Jiang Qingshan found the families of the victims in the first six murder cases, but because it was too late, they could only find out the situation by phone When it was announced that there was another real murderer in the serial murder case, the families of the victims had already approached the police on their own initiative.

Based on the case file and some incomplete confessions, Bai Yao took a lot of effort to sort out the activities of the six victims before they were murdered, and then interrogated the person who attacked Xia Ci with Zhao Chen.

Chu Xingmu stayed in the deputy director's office for nearly two hours. After reporting the progress of the case, Wu Huanshan had to hold an impromptu meeting to sort out the information and clues they had collected in the past few days, especially with the case five years ago. Comparing those "hard evidences", if the serial murder case is solved as soon as possible, Zhou Jinlin will be able to get justice done earlier. This is what Wu Huanshan promised Mrs. Zhou.

Except for a few sub-bureau leaders who were too late to arrive at the city bureau in the task force, everyone else went to the conference room at the same time.

Han Yang changed the surgical gown, smelled it from his hands to his arms, and walked out of his office after confirming that there was no peculiar smell on his body. When passing by the office of the anti-drug team, he ran into Chen Yuyao who was about to go upstairs. Han Yang didn't give him this time. Shaking his face, the two went upstairs together.

Chen Yuyao and Han Yang went upstairs, Zhong Changxin and Qin Feifei entered the hall behind, and with them was Yin Zhou from the third sub-bureau of Yongxing District.

When Chu Xingmu returned to the office, he saw Zhao Chen and Bai Yao coming out of the interrogation room. He looked into the interrogation room, stopped Zhao Chen and asked him, "How did you explain it?"

Zhao Chen shook his head: "I don't reveal who ordered me to live or die. The three of them are rushing to kill people."

"Where's the big gold chain?"

"He is the landlord at the scene of the No. [-] crime. He said that someone made an anonymous phone call a few days ago to warn him not to talk nonsense. The deputy team went to the scene and asked him to deliver the key in advance."

Chu Xingmu looked back and forth between the two interrogation rooms, "Did the landlord and the suspect agree to come here together?"

Zhao Chen shook his head, then nodded and said: "The landlord said that someone called him to cooperate with the deputy team. They seem to know the whereabouts of the deputy team, but both parties insist that they don't know each other."

Chu Xingmu had the answer in his mind, so he just said: "After the meeting, go to Director Li for instructions and see how he plans to deal with it."

Zhao Chen didn't quite understand, and asked, "Shouldn't you report this to Bureau Wu?"

"Do as I say." He wanted to find out the reality of Li Yaomin's side.

Chu Xingmu was about to go back to his work station, when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned to see Tang Zhe and Qi Shaocheng coming out of the inquiry room.

In the afternoon, he heard that Tang Zhe had brought an old man back. Before he had time to ask who he was and why he brought him back, Tang Zhe said before Chu Xingmu asked, "When the deputy team went to the No. [-] scene, they saw An old man who pasted a talisman on the gate of the scene, that person looks suspicious and the deputy team asked me to pay attention."

Chu Xingmu asked: "What did you ask?"

Qi Shaocheng replied: "Tell me some personal grievances between him and the victim."

All the people present were a little puzzled, Chu Xingmu was going to continue the discussion at the meeting, so he asked them to go to the meeting room first.

Although it was an impromptu meeting, many people dispersed scatteredly. Wu Huanshan looked at the crowded conference room, waiting for them to sit down, and watched them discuss the case in whispers or greet each other casually.

Han Yang approached Chen Yuyao and asked him, "Why didn't your master come here?"

Chen Yuyao said: "Captain Liu is not involved in this case anymore, I'm here instead."

Han Yang nodded: "Mr. Qian is the same. He gave me all the previous materials. I can't embarrass him."

Chu Xingmu at the other end saw that Mu Fang hadn't come, so he asked Zhong Changxin, "Where's Professor Mu?"

Zhong Changxin said: "The professor has something to do temporarily, so let me come here."

Yin Zhou, who was sitting on the other side of Chu Xingmu, also said: "Our director asked me to come here to ask Captain Chu for advice. The city bureau's detection rate has always been an example for the whole city."

Chu Xingmu raised his eyebrows and said: "I was attacked twice on your site, don't bother to improve the detection rate, and eliminate hidden dangers on the street when you have time."

For the same serial murder case, two task forces were set up five years ago. The members of the task force five years ago were all well-known elite policemen in the police circle and the chief of the bureau who held a lot of power. The serial murder case reduced the task force to exclusion. Alien tool, heavy casualties.

Most of the young backbones here today have withstood the test, and perhaps they will become the new mainstay of Qingshi in the future.

Wu Huanshan asked in a low voice, "Is everyone here?"

"No one came from the Shanghe branch."

"Call you over at this time, sort out the clues in your hands and lock the suspect as soon as possible. The higher-ups have already sent a message to give us a week to solve the case. I didn't say it for fear of putting pressure on you. Three days have passed and we can't delay any longer. , we can mobilize all the policemen in Qingshi at once, but there can’t be only policemen on the streets, if a serial murderer can turn Qingshi’s stability and prosperity for so many years into a false appearance, no one can bear the responsibility.”

Wu Huanshan looked at Chu Xingmu and said, "Let's talk about your progress first."

Chu Xingmu asked people to send the information, and said: "At present, only the victim Sun Xiaoqi has seen the full picture of the suspect, but Sun Xiaoqi is still emotionally unstable, and she can't find any clues. The witness Cong Gang fought with the suspect. We extracted The suspect's blood sample has arrived, but there is no suspect to match the blood sample."

Han Yang gave Wu Huanshan a copy of the test results of the drug, and said, "This is given to me by the forensic doctor Qian. Five years ago, he detected the ingredient clonazepam in the bodies of two pregnant women. This drug is mostly used for epilepsy. And convulsion treatment, belong to prohibited psychotropic drugs.”

Zhao Chen flipped through the documents in his hand and said: "According to our investigation of the victims' medical history, none of the six victims suffered from epilepsy, nor did they have any history of mental illness or family mental illness."

Bai Yao explained the activity trajectories of the seven victims including Sun Xiaoqi that she had sorted out before the accident: "The two elderly victims lived alone and did not know each other. Their activities were limited to the vegetable market around the community. The rest of the time is spent at home, basically no enmity with others."

Tang Zhe added: "At the scene of the No. [-] crime, the Xia team found an old man who pasted a talisman on the door. He is now in the team. He is the downstairs neighbor of the victim. According to his account of the victim's relationship with the surrounding neighbors Relationships are bad."

Yin Zhou asked, "How bad is it?"

"Barely interact with him. The victim often curses neighbors and laughs at other people's physical defects, etc. The old man who put up the talisman is a little hunchbacked. He said that the victim often called him a hunchback before he was alive. Later, he detoured when he saw the victim. On the night when the victim was killed, he heard movement upstairs, but he didn't go out, and the next day he heard that the victim was killed, because he felt guilty for the victim, and he heard that the real murderer committed the crime again, the old man He said he wanted to paste talisman papers to ward off evil spirits."

Chu Xingmu asked: "Has he seen the murderer?"

Tang Zhe shook his head: "He only heard noises from upstairs, and no one else nearby heard the victim's call for help."

"What about the other old victim? How was her interpersonal situation before she was alive?"

"The second old victim is a kind and warm-hearted old lady. According to the neighbors around her, she has never had any conflicts with others. She has a good temper and a good relationship with her neighbors."

"It's a strange thing. The murderer has to compare the crimes when he kills. The doors of the two elderly victims are facing each other in the same community. They broke into the house and committed the crime without property loss. If it is seeking revenge, victim No. [-] had a bad temper and offended others. It's understandable, but what did the warm-hearted old woman do wrong?"

Bai Yao went on to say: "The two victimized pregnant women were also in the same community. The victim was killed in an open park near the community, in two green forests in the east and west. This time it was not door to door, but the same floor and house number in different units. No. 8, Building 1810 and 10, Building 1810."

"What about the activity track of the pregnant woman during her lifetime?"

Chu Xingmu said: "Go for a walk in the park after dinner."

"Nothing but a walk after dinner?"

Qi Shaocheng nodded and said: "The husband of the first pregnant woman said that they went to the hospital for a check-up the day before, and the doctor suggested increasing the amount of exercise. The next afternoon, the victim went out alone after dinner, because the open park is near the community, and it is only 10 minutes away from home. , no family members followed, the victim's husband failed to find anyone and called the police around [-]:[-] pm, and the sanitation worker who picked up the garbage in the green forest found the victim's body in the morning of the third day and called the police again."

"Because the crime scene was in the most remote green forest in the park, there were no witnesses, so it was impossible to tell when the victim went to the park and who he had contact with on the way, but clonazepam was found in the victim's body, the probability is They were force-fed."

Han Yang asked: "The first pregnant woman who was victimized was in the green forest on the west side of the park. On the fourth day after the incident, the murderer tricked the second pregnant woman into the green forest on the east side and killed her. How did the murderer escape the police investigating the scene? Committed the crime again?"

"The park was reopened the next day after the scene was inspected, and the number of security patrols was increased. Under such circumstances, it is really impossible to commit crimes without leaving clues."

"The second pregnant woman also went out in the evening, but she went to the barber shop to have her hair cut, unaccompanied, and later she appeared in the park again. According to people in the park that day, she did see a pregnant woman with short hair. How long did it take to leave, and the destination is unknown."

Chen Yuyao asked: "How is the relationship between the two pregnant women?"

"The interpersonal relationship of the pregnant woman in Building No. 8 is relatively complicated. Before she was pregnant, she worked in a private company, but her colleagues and friends said that she got along well with her. The pregnant woman in Building No. 10 lived at home all year round, and her interpersonal relationship was weak. According to people familiar with her, she A little mean." When Bai Yao described the pregnant woman in Building 10, she carefully chose her words, so as not to affect everyone's judgment due to the victim's own reasons.

Chen Yuyao said: "The murderer chose his target based on moral character? But how did he find such a coincidental and contrasting target in a short period of time?"

Chu Xingmu raised his head and said, "Maybe the murderer has been observing the lives of these victims for a long time."

Chen Yuyao glanced at him, then turned around and asked, "Where are the two victims?"

After listening to them talking for so long, Wu Huanshan closed the file and raised his head to scan around. In this big case, Wu Huanshan was most familiar with the two murdered children. Everyone looked up at Wu Huanshan and listened to him. Said: "The two murdered children belong to the relationship between bullying and being bullied."

"The little boy who was just in the third grade and was spoiled by his family became the bully. These two children are in the same class in the same school. The first victim was the one who bullied his classmates. The location of the two children's murder In two orchards not far apart."

Yin Zhou said: "On the night of the sixth murder case, the task force received a provocative letter from the murderer, but they met Director Zhou at the scene of the crime, and the details about the murder of the two children were ignored when Director Zhou was wanted. "

Wu Huanshan nodded after hearing Yin Zhou's words, "The focus of the special case team has become the arrest of the fugitive Zhou Jinlin, and these two children have also been included in the previous cases, but these two cases are different from the previous four cases. One thing is different, the murderer seems to be tired of killing, after committing the crime, when the two children were still alive, he reminded people outside that the first child died after rescue failed."

Chu Xingmu said in a deep voice: "The second child could have been saved originally, and Director Zhou may have gone to the scene to save that child."

Yin Zhou then asked: "What about the seventh victim, Sun Xiaoqi? According to the murderer's crime habits, he has probably found the eighth target."

"Sun Xiaoqi was rescued. The murderer still has some scruples. He should not act rashly in the short term. Now is the rest time for us to catch the murderer, so no matter what, we must catch him before he commits another crime!"

Wu Huanshan said: "The situation of the victim is clear, is there anything else to add?"

Han Yang picked up six autopsy results and one injury report. Because there were too many folders, Chen Yuyao helped him share a few. Han Yang said, "I rearranged Qian's forensic autopsy report, including Subtle clues picked up by the task force, details of wounds on the victim's body."

"All the victims' necks, wrists, ankles and other exposed blood vessels on the body were cut open, and there were obvious needle holes in the wounds. It was preliminarily determined that those needle holes came from blood collection needles. The murderer took great pains to stun the victims with blunt instruments Combined with his criteria for selecting the target of the crime, the murderer may suffer from some kind of blood disease."

Chen Yuyao asked: "What is the blood type of the suspect's blood sample taken at the scene?"

Chu Xingmu replied: "Type A."

Han Yang took out the test results of the other seven blood samples and said: "But only one of the seven victims has type A blood, so the possibility of the murderer collecting the same blood type because of his own blood disease is very small. A guess of mine."

Chu Xingmu said: "Whether there is a blood disease is not clear, but I suspect that the murderer has severe epilepsy. There are many types of drugs for epilepsy on the market. If it is not severe epilepsy, how could the murderer have clonazepam?" Prohibited psychotropic drugs.”

Han Yang said, "I remember that clonazepam also has anti-anxiety and muscle relaxation effects."

"It also has a hypnotic effect." Chu Xingmu added, "Long-term use will lead to dependence, and it will also lead to abnormal sexual function and abnormal weight gain. After taking it, patients will have emotions such as excitement and anxiety, as well as behavioral disorders."

Yin Zhou understood what he meant: "The murderer may use clonazepam, which he has been using for a long time to treat epilepsy, to hypnotize the victim, and then move the victim to a place where there are few people."

Tang Zhe asked: "If the murderer's purpose was to collect the victim's blood, why were the two victimized children disfigured?"

Zhao Chen said: "This should have something to do with the murderer's psychology."

Han Yang immediately got a box from under his feet, and took out a very old-looking dark yellow model from the box, "This is the plaster model of the wound on the victim's head, and it was also given to me by Forensic Doctor Qian. After some research, it appears that what the murderer used to hit the victim on the head was an iron implement."

Chu Xingmu glanced at the model and felt that it looked familiar, and asked, "It's solid iron or something."

Qi Shaocheng asked: "Wrench and hammer?"

Han Yang shook his head and said, "The area and depth of the depression are far apart."

The depression was very shallow, but the wound area was large, and it was still a solid iron tool. The murderer was fatal with another blow. Chu Xingmu thought for a while and said, "It may be a weight."

Han Yang was good at making gestures on the model a few times, and nodded frantically: "It's very likely that it's a weight!"

Tang Zhe said: "I only saw the weight once, and I saw it at the fruit stand when I was a child. Now I use electronic scales, and things like weights are not common."

Yin Zhou pushed down their conclusions, "The murderer suffered from epilepsy, took clonazepam for a long time, had a venous blood collection needle specially used to collect blood, and the crime tools also included weights. In addition to the obesity side effects of clonazepam, at least The killer is stronger than the victim in terms of size."

"Being able to commit crimes under the noses of the police, the murderer also has a strong sense of anti-investigation, can hit the victim with one blow, and flee the scene without a trace after committing the crime. He is not only smart, but also agile."

Zhong Changxin, who has been silent all the time, said: "The murderer has a wide range of relationships. He must be engaged in a trustworthy occupation. He is good at observation and disguise. He is a neat and capable type in his work, and he works hard to make money."

"What's the motive for the crime?"

Zhong Changxin said firmly: "Killing is indiscriminate and unreasonable. Although we can analyze the murderer's personality, habits and even his life experience based on the modus operandi and psychology of the crime, the motive of the crime is only to kill."

Yin Zhou nodded and said: "Some criminals with antisocial personality are born with a lack of emotion. Such people usually regard killing as fun and crime as the principle of finding a survival goal."

Zhong Changxin said: "As Captain Chu said, the murderer suffers from epilepsy, so he has been relying on clonazepam, a drug with severe side effects and strong addiction. Negative emotions lead to mental illness, one thing is certain, the murderer has no empathy, his most obvious emotions are only like and disgust, he hates killing people, so he deliberately let people find children to save them, he doesn't like children's faces, So to disfigure them, the murderer must have been discriminated against in the social process."

"Like the first victim's verbal expletives? Calling someone a hunchback insultingly?"

"Well, the murderer may have been disabled in some way."

Chu Xingmu folded his arms and said, "He still likes to look in the mirror?"

Zhong Changxin nodded approvingly: "He likes to look in the mirror because he is not confident in his appearance."

Chen Yuyao was a bit unconvinced: "Such a narcissistic person is quite trusted by others and has extensive interpersonal relationships. This is not something a person who is not confident can do. The best period for a person to be blindly confident is 23 years old Wasn't the murderer younger than you before?"

Zhong Changxin said: "So I suspect that he still suffers from mental illness. According to the standard of mental illness, this phenomenon belongs to late-onset offenders. Most of them are over 30 years old. From the perspective of psychological standards, they are habitual offenders."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Zhong Changxin quietly and blankly. Tang Zhe scratched his head and looked at Chu Xingmu. Bai Yao grabbed a handful of hair and frowned at Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen turned his face to Qi Shaocheng again. Qi Shaocheng had nowhere to go. I had no choice but to turn my attention to Zhong Changxin.

Chen Yuyao asked Han Yang: "Who is this habitual criminal?"

Han Yang: "I don't know."

Zhong Changxin pursed his lips: "Excuse me, let me explain. Habitual criminals refer to criminals who have become habitualized and fixed in their criminal personality through criminal learning during the course of multiple crimes."

"It means that the murderer commits seven crimes in a row, his modus operandi is completely out of habit, and he keeps learning new modus operandi from previous crimes?"

"For example, from the beginning of the burglary killing blood collection, it has become a difficult outdoor killing. First, the victim is imprisoned with inherent thinking, such as the hands of two old people who are tied up. When killing a pregnant woman, he uses his clonazepam as a hypnosis. The victims were rendered incapacitated by drugs and muscle relaxants, and their faces were disfigured when they killed the two children. From the beginning to the end, the victims were hit on the head with a blunt instrument, and their blood was collected when they fainted. Behavior hasn't changed."

Han Yang said, "Why is this person so capricious and rigorous?"

Zhong Changxin said: "Finding the murderer is only a matter of time. The key lies in why the murderer was able to commit crimes in succession at the stage of tight police deployment and case detection, without even leaving any clues. But the murderer committed another crime five years later but was discovered. He even left a blood sample that can prove his identity, and when the witnesses discovered that he committed the crime, he did not immediately silence him, but chose to escape."

Speaking of this, Chu Xingmu has already understood that the murderer committed the crime independently, but someone cleaned up the clues for the murderer after committing the crime. The first thing Chu Xingmu thought of was Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin, but thinking of what happened to Zhou Jinlin back then, he felt that Zhao Hailu and Wang Yuemin Wang Yuemin also took the blame for others.

These things cannot be said in front of everyone. "Now the outline of the murderer is becoming clearer and clearer. The most urgent thing is to catch the murderer. According to Dr. Zhong, the murderer may suffer from mental illness and may have a criminal record."

He suddenly remembered that he found Wen Ti's paper written by Wen Ti in his study that night. Its core content was "the recurrence rate of mentally ill crimes". If the murderer is mentally ill and has a strong criminal learning ability, he must have a criminal record. They have not been able to determine the range of suspects.

Chu Xingmu said: "The murderer may have a criminal record, a person who has been released after serving his sentence, or a special person who is not criminally responsible."

"It is unlikely to be released after serving the sentence. If it is released after serving the sentence, it will definitely be found. What kind of people are not criminally responsible?"

Zhong Changxin said: "The mentally ill group."

Wu Huanshan said: "Okay, today's meeting will end here, not only to solve the first six murder cases, but also to prevent the eighth victim from appearing. Starting tonight, we will send two teams to Xiaochong Road, which is remote. Install hidden cameras at the boundary, strictly investigate the residential area where Sun Xiaoqi lives, especially the comparative crimes you mentioned, and remind them to reduce going out or have their parents pick them up. Remember to keep a low profile so as not to cause unnecessary panic. Qingshi then With many children, anyone could become the eighth victim."

"It's the same in other districts. If the suspect is not caught, he can't relax for a day. But remember, there are only three days. If you don't want to be taken as an order to run errands, this case must be solved."

After speaking, Wu Huanshan stood up, "Let's adjourn the meeting, and arrange it early."

When Wu Huanshan left, Han Yang asked, "What does Director Wu mean if he doesn't want to be taken as an order to run errands?"

Chu Xingmu said in an unhappy tone: "If we can't break it, naturally there are better than us."

Originally, during this period of time, everyone was suffocating because the progress of the case was too slow, but when they heard that the higher-ups still had to take over the case when they could not solve the case, they became even more angry.

Chu Xingmu turned his head and said to Qi Shaocheng: "Take a few people to monitor the alleys of Xiaochong Road 24 hours a day, and report any suspects immediately."

"Zhao Chen is responsible for reminding all the owners in Sun Xiaoqi's community."

Zhao Chen picked up the materials and was about to leave. Chu Xingmu stopped him and said, "Wait, just remind those who have children, remember to keep the battles small."

"Bai Yao and Tang Zhe went to find out how many mentally ill criminals in Qingshi were related to criminal crimes but not held criminally responsible, including those sent to mental hospitals by the government for compulsory treatment."

When they all left the meeting room, Chu Xingmu found that Zhong Changxin was still sitting still, and Zhong Changxin deliberately stayed behind and said, "Why didn't you let me finish talking just now?"

Chu Xingmu put the stools in the conference room away, picked up the materials on the table and said: "We have already thought of what you can think of, but now is not the time to discuss this, the most important thing is to catch the murderer of."

After a meeting, it was already dark outside. Chu Xingmu left the conference room first. Wen Ti should have arrived. When he returned to the office, Chu Xingmu found that Lang Lang hadn’t come back. He was thinking whether to go to the hospital to see Xia resignation.

Walking out of the gate of the Municipal Bureau, Wen Ti was already waiting on the side of the road. Seeing Chu Xingmu coming over, Wen Ti lowered the car window and waved to him. Chu Xingmu ran two steps. When I touched it, it suddenly disappeared a lot.

Wenti got into the car and asked him: "Go home or go to the hospital?"

Chu Xingmu gave him a "know me" look and said, "Hospital, Lang Lang didn't even make a phone call all afternoon, so I'm a little worried."

"How are Miss Lang and the deputy team?"

"There was a conflict a few days ago, and I didn't talk to each other for two days."

"Sister Lang must be very worried." Wen Ti turned her head to look at Chu Xingmu.

Chu Xingmu leaned his head on the seat and said, "Actually, the day I was hit, I was most worried about you before I passed out."

"What are you worried about me?"

"If I die, who will support you in the future."

Wen Ti raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Xingmu for a few seconds, then turned her head away again. Chu Xingmu saw the corner of his mouth curved, and asked in a good mood: "Teacher Wen, can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"Tell "The Little Prince" again, this time to Sun Xiaoqi."
